A witness told the news station about the tragic scene.

“Everyone was running ... and as I was running, I saw a car up on the sidewalk coming toward us,” the witness said. “I saw a lady ... she didn't seem like she wanted to stop the car, she had both hands on her wheel, and she was looking straight forward.

“I saw men running after her, yelling, 'Stop, stop!' As she was passing, we saw people running after her. Everyone was so frantic and just running around.”

The suspect fled the scene, but police were able to track her down in East Flamingo. She had a 3-year-old child in the vehicle with her. That child was not injured.

The driver’s name has not been released at this time. She is currently in jail and charges are pending. Homicide officials are looking at several surveillance videos.
